Summary: "Boomers," if you love to laugh, get this video . . . NOW!!!!!!
Comment: I thought I would die laughing when I first watched "Bill Cosby - 49" about a dozen years ago! My husband and I enjoyed this so much that we ended up inviting friends to laugh with us at Cosby's antics during our 49th birthdays. Cosby is at his best as he relates his experiences with the indignities of growing older. Suddenly, age related struggles like memory glitches, and failing eyesight, became incredibly funny! It was particularly comforting to know that I am not alone in the aging process. Being a "Boomer," I'm surrounded by peers who are trying to deny that they are getting older. As Cosby says, "It's a fact." So, lets have some fun with it! Let's enjoy the humor in it! My only regret about this video is that, when I wanted a DVD copy for a friend's 49th birthday, I found that only used VHS tapes were available. And, those are copy protected. Come on! Somebody should put this on a DVD. I'm sure they'd make a mint! Boomer stuff usually does. Personally, I have many other friends who will soon turn 49 and neeeeeed their own copy of this hilarious video! It's great medicine for what "ages" you.

"I have a 38 inch waist. Not bad. When I look at myself in the mirror, I suck in, and say not bad. Turn sideways, suck in, not bad. Not bad... not really bad. I buy underpants. I wear jockey shorts. I buy a 34. Because they will stetch out to about 50. So, I say I would like jockey shorts. What size? 34. Oh, so would you like them gift-wrapped?" - Bill Cosby: 49
"At age 49, you're happy for what you were and apperciative for what you are." - William H. Cosby Jr.

Summary: Cosby grows old ...
Comment: We first watched this video 5 years ago, and I'm sure I've never laughed so hard in my life. Bill Cosby's observations of the aging process are so universal and so hilarious that we can all relate; we can all see something of ourselves in this video. I highly recommend it to anyone over the age of 30 especially.
